All About X-box
Choppy waters The Xbox was quickly followed by release dates in Japan (February 22, 2002) and Europe (March 14, 2002), however neither market responded to the system with the same fervor as North America. Only 123,000 Xbox systems were sold in Japan in the first week after launch, confirming Microsoft's concern that the system would struggle to gain traction in the famously competitive international market.

Review of 'Lore Olympus: Volume Two'
She called. He answered. This stunning follow-up to Lore Olympus: Volume One proves that the story of Hades, God of the Underworld, and his beloved Persephone is far from over. It's the same contemporary reimagining that stole your heart the first time, but with even more gossip, drama and, of course, more heat.

November '22 Reads
After finishing one book in October, which you can read about here, I’m back with another monthly reading round-up. I’m (still) writing these for myself, and that’s okay. It’s fun. Kind of. I haven’t read this much in years, and I’m enjoying it.

Review of 'The Darkening'
In this thrilling and epic YA fantasy debut, the only hope for a city trapped in the eye of a cursed storm lies with the daughter of failed revolutionaries and a prince terrified of his throne. Vesper Vale is the daughter of revolutionaries. Failed revolutionaries. When her mother was caught by the queen’s soldiers, they gave her a choice: death by the hangman’s axe, or death by the Storm that surrounds the city and curses anyone it touches. She chose the Storm. And when the queen’s soldiers—led by a paranoid prince—catch up to Vesper’s father after twelve years on the run, Vesper will do whatever it takes to save him from sharing that fate. Even arm herself with her father’s book of dangerous experimental magic. Even infiltrate the prince’s elite squad of soldier-sorcerers. Even cheat her way into his cold heart. But when Vesper learns that there’s more to the story of her mother’s death, she’ll have to make a choice if she wants to save her city: trust the devious prince with her family’s secrets, or follow her mother’s footsteps into the Storm.

Marissa Meyer's The Lunar Chronicles: Ranked
For some reason, I never managed to pick up Winter — the fourth and final (main) book of the Lunar Chronicles — when it came out so I decided to do a re-read of the first free books before finally finishing the series. Now that I’ve done that, I figured, why not rank the series?
